I am pleased to report that the spinoff of TurboVNC into a separate
project has been completed.
What has changed
================
Mailing lists
-------------
Perhaps most important for those reading this-- there are three new
mailing lists specific to TurboVNC (turbovnc-announce, turbovnc-users,
turbovnc-devel.) If you are an active customer of mine who is using
TurboVNC, or if your e-mail address contained the word "TurboVNC" in it
(pretty obvious), then I automatically copied your subscription from
virtualgl-{} to turbovnc-{}, but otherwise, please take a moment to
subscribe to one or more of the new lists if you want to continue
receiving information about TurboVNC:
http://sourceforge.net/p/turbovnc/mailman/
You may also want to unsubscribe from the virtualgl-* mailing lists if
you don't care about VirtualGL. The virtualgl-* mailing lists will be,
from this moment forward, for discussing VirtualGL only.
Downloads
---------
-- VirtualGL files are now at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualgl/files/
-- TurboVNC files are now at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/turbovnc/files/
Please update any packaging scripts and documentation to reflect the new
URLs. Unfortunately, SourceForge doesn't allow symlinking within the
file release directories, so I can't maintain backward compatibility here.
Web sites
---------
-- TurboVNC now has its own SourceForge project page at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/turbovnc. All TurboVNC bugs,
feature requests, and patches have been moved into that tracker. Both
the VirtualGL and TurboVNC SourceForge pages contain a link to the
other, for convenience.
-- All of the TurboVNC content that used to be on VirtualGL.org is now
on http://www.TurboVNC.org. That includes all of the sponsors and
projects on the "Sponsors" page that were specific to TurboVNC.
-- The pre-release builds for TurboVNC are now at:
http://www.turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases
Subversion
----------
The VirtualGL and TurboVNC subversion repositories have been split and
re-imported. Thus, it is no longer necessary to add "vgl" or "vnc" to
the end of the subversion URL when doing a checkout. The new URLs for
anonymous checkout are:
-- VirtualGL:
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/virtualgl/code
-- TurboVNC:
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/turbovnc/code
(add "trunk" or "branches/*" or "tags/*" to these URLs to check out a
specific version.)
Unfortunately, you will have to re-checkout existing working copies.
There is no way to use 'svn switch' to migrate the working copies,
because the revision numbering has changed.
New icons/logos
---------------
For the time being, I have updated the icons and logos to use a more
modern (fire-engine-red) color scheme. I am, however, looking for a
graphic artist who would be willing to design a new logo for the
project. If you or someone you know might be interested, let me know.
What hasn't changed
===================
"The VirtualGL Project" is still the name of the entity that manages
both VirtualGL and TurboVNC.
Our Facebook and LinkedIn pages will still contain both VirtualGL and
TurboVNC content.
